So it looks like new coaches had a really, really bad week in week 1, going 0-7 with some embarrassing efforts. Considering that none of them play one another this week, the potential for a repeat performance is definitely still there.

Jon Gruden, Raiders at broncos. If Gruden grudens like he grudened last week, the Broncos are a lock.

Matt Nagy, Bears vs seahawks. The Seahawks managed a yeoman effort against the Broncos while the Bears got Rodgered by an obviously chemically impaired Rodgers. Seahawks.

Matt Patricia, Lions at 49ers. Patricia looked way out of his depth in a game that got way out of his control. While the Niners kept it close with a clear playoff contender. Niners.

Frank Reich, Colts at Redskins. Both Alex Smith and Patrick Mahomes played well enough to make you think that KC AND Washington won in that trade. Redskins.

Pat Shurmur, Giants at Cowboys. Shurmur's Giants showed impressive ability to move the ball against one of the NFL's best defenses. Giants.

Mike Vrabel, Titans vs. Texans. Given strength of competition, I am going to have to go with the Texans.

I really didn't think FitzMagic played bad and anyone thinking Winston would win that game is a crazy person. His receivers dropped multiple passes including a TD pass that they ended up having to settle for a FG. On top of that, one of his INT's was partly due to Evans stopping short when FitzMagic thought he would keep running the route.

A stiff arm requires that you extend your arm rigidly. That isn't a stiff arm, that's getting thrown out of the way. I don't know how he managed to keep his balance and stay in bounds but was a great play.

(The link is video of Chris Conte getting stiff-armed into next month.)

Reminds me of a play when I was in high school. We were just getting demolished by a team that was so much better and bigger than us it was ridiculous. On one play I saw our safety break down into a perfect tackle position as the other team's ball carrier was running in open field toward him. As he went for the tackle, the runner stiff armed him in the chest and he fell backwards, and the runner proceeded to step on his chest as he continued on to the end zone. It didn't even seem like he broke stride at all. It was one of the most humiliating things I ever saw on a football field.

Henry Standing Bear: It is a beautiful day at the Red Pony and continual soiree.

Castiel: I suggest we imbibe copious amounts of alcohol and just wait for the inevitable blast wave.
